Creativity!

Welcome back to Kidsedchatnz for Term Three.

This week we are exploring "Inventive Thinking, Creativity, Passion & Talent".

1) What are your interests, talents or passions?

I like to do art and I love to read.

2) How do you get to learn about your interests in the classroom? Give us an example.

By reading a book each term or maybe creating more things in the classroom.

3) Do you think it's important for children to have time each week to learn about something that they're interested in? Why?

I think they should because it will make their skill rise like if you loved art, and did art every week your skill would grow.

4) What is the world's most important invention so far? How does it affect your life?

I think the worlds most important invention was the phone because it made a big impact on everyones life and changed the world.

5) The Kid President wanted to invent a Catuum Cleaner. What would you like to invent to make the world more awesome?

I would create holograms because it would be cool to be able to go up to a machine and create a hologram of a volcano or something.

6) The top 10 jobs in 2017 didn't exist in 2007. What jobs do you think there will be in 10 years time?

Maybe a hover car cleaner or maybe internet police?

7) Inventive thinking requires taking risks, being curious and thinking skills. How do you do this in the classroom?

I do this by reserching my topic and then creating a display or poster.

8) Is creativity important? How can we encourage creativity in the classroom?

I think creativity is important because it shows people that everything dosen't have to be written in a report.

9) Sometimes we get stuck with our learning and have to problem solve. What does good problem solving look like?

Working through the problem slowly, not rushing through the problem.
